Overwatch LEGO Characters Revealed - Gamescom 2018

Quit lollygaggin' and get on the point!

By Colin Stevens

The long-teased Overwatch/LEGO collaboration looks to be closer than ever, as the building blocks company has hinted at six Overwatch heroes that will likely become figures.

As revealed on Twitter, LEGO has six mystery figures load on screen with a backdrop of a few different Overwatch maps, including the Japan-based Hanamura map. It's possible these will serve as the basic LEGO sets that will eventually be released.

The six figures that come on screen aren't entirely clear, but from left to right they appear to be Widowmaker, Reinhardt (or possibly Reaper or Zenyatta), Genji, Soldier 76, Mercy and McCree.

No figures or sets have been confirmed, but the post did include references to Gamescom, which is currently happening in Cologne, Germany. Blizzard is set to announce new Overwatch content on Wednesday, August 22 - it's possible we'll hear more about this LEGO collaboration then.

Gamescom 2018 is happening now in Cologne, Germany from August 21 - 25. Check out IGN's Gamescom 2018 hub, and join us for our live coverage of the event where we will stream gameplay demos, developer interviews and more.
